     The Civil Service College has launched the “25th Anniversary of the Establishment of the HKSAR: Our Way Forward” seminar series to better equip civil servants to complement the country’s and Hong Kong’s development in their work by exploring national development strategies through different lenses. The third seminar of the series, delivered via video conferencing today (July 28) by Deputy Director-General of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mr Hu Jian, covered the theme of strengthening international communication and telling good stories of China. It was also the seventh talk of the series on the country’s foreign affairs jointly organised by the Civil Service College and the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).

     Addressing the seminar, the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, said that the important speech by President Xi Jinping delivered at the meeting celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland and the inaugural ceremony of the sixth-term Government of the HKSAR has stated clearly that Hong Kong must adhere to “one country, two systems” in the long run, and reiterated the country’s determination in fully and faithfully implementing the principle of “one country, two systems”.

     Mrs Yeung stressed, “‘One country, two systems’ is of great vitality and the success of its implementation in Hong Kong over the past 25 years has won recognition throughout the world. Civil servants of the HKSAR, as the backbone of the Government, not only have the responsibility but also should make conscientious efforts to tell the success story of ‘one country, two systems’ of the country and Hong Kong to the international community.”

     Over 350 civil servants in the directorate and senior ranks took part in today’s talk through online access.

     Three talks of this series had been held in July, and they were attended by around 700 participants.
